Want to open a new biz card that doesn't go on my Credit Report. Currently have two inks. Spend ~20k a month in miscellaneous categories. Any suggestions as to what to apply for?

Does anyone know if visa credit cards issued in israel offer the same return protections that US cards have?

Dan's got a United biz card up with 100K pts for spending $10K.
Besides that, find something that earns more than 1 ppd (point per dollar) of valuable points.

yes you can sell the free night, and therefore worth it for retention offer, as long as it pays for yearly fee!

no, but every year you keep the card open, when the time comes and you want to close this card, the retention offer will probably be greater, being that its based on how old and much you spend on the card....   even still its a $25 money maker so why not... hatzlacha!

It’s called Marriott points, and the answer to that is just about nothing

I have a Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard. received the bonus of 70,000 points and used it already. the yearly fee is coming up soon. however, I don't really use it anymore. I called them to try to downgrade to a different card and they checked my account and said that card can't be downgraded. (basically they only allow downgrading on a case by case basis)

does anyone have any options to avoid the annual fee? and if not, is it worth it to keep it open? thanks

Anyone know if it's possible to convert a Citi biz AA to a Costco biz card?

I applied and got approved for the Capital One Spark Miles last week, its not showing on my credit report yet, I'm currently 3/24, how likely will I get approved for the 2 out of the 3 Chase Inks right now?

Ink, as business cards, don't add to the 5/24 count.  After the Spark is added, you're at 4/24.  You can keep getting business cards, and it won't bring you to 5/24.

Doesn't Chase have a limit on how many they approve per 30 days (besides 5/24)?
